It is easy to point fingers and pass blame to others. Although, ultimately, at the end of the day you are the only one responsible for YOU!

No matter what good or bad decisions you've made at home, at work, in life; you are the only one to blame. Take responsibility and own your actions. For once you fully take responsibility for yourself, and only then, will you achieve a greater level of freedom.

Many people will attempt to control you out of fear and/or for their own agenda. They will only succeed if you let them.
